The pharmacy and poisons board has warned that it will take legal action against chemist in Kisumu selling Panadol tablets with dosage faults.
Speaking to Journalists at the Kisumu ASK show on, Western region pharmacy and poisons board director Beatrice Obinge said the Panadol tablet had not quality problems but the issue was with the dosage.
"We had asked pharmacists to return Panadol tablets with dosage faults. We tell those people who are still having the drugs in their shelves that we are going to seize the products and take disciplinary action against them," said Obinge.
Director Obinge said chemist should explain why they are not returning the products. "Professionals running the chemist is supposed to be summoned by the pharmacy and poisons board," said Obinge.
She said that during summoning, the owner will be grilled by the board adding that, "Either the owner is going to be penalised and their operating licence or certificate of running the business withdrawn if they still have the product."
The Western region pharmacy and poisons board director emphasised that the problem with the Panadol tablets is the fault with the dosage and not quality.
